I had a good friend beg me to make sure i listen to it. It moved him to tears. He also gave me the speech, it was printed in a local paper. I snatched your Obama pic above.

M...Beth, I so appreciate everything you had to say. Many accuse us of hero worship when that's not it at all. I truly believe the man is smart enough and selfless enough to get the job done. Obama is not God as people accuse us of believing, but I do think he's a good man with his heart in the right place. He's not perfect and it's not going to happen over night, but I do believe we are in a stronger position to get there with him at the helm than we would have been with anyone else. We have to all learn to be US, not right and left and I think that is Obama's biggest message. I hope the hoopla quiets down and those who feel on the outside because he won won't feel that way anymore. This election period caused a lot of hurt to a lot of people on both sides, myself included, I look forward to the healing. As is my mantra....Miracles happen!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142165989773432032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-59050106896475966942009-01-21T17:52:00.000-05:002009-01-21T17:52:00.000-05:00I was wondering at first if it would be close capt...I was wondering at first if it would be close captioned. Sometimes certain stations won't provide it with live coverage. I had tears streaming down my face when I realized not only would I be able to watch this historical event, I wouldn't miss a single word. <BR/><BR/>I'm still smiling, even today thinking about it.

Obama haS A HUGE JOB BUT i FEEL HE CAN DO IT. i DO THINK THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE that will do everything in their power to make him fail, possibly as many democrats as republicans but if they do they will be taking this country down.

Mr Obama has taken on a very hard job, but I'm sure he is the best man for it in these difficult times. The Obama family is marvellous. Truly devoted to one another. An example to follow. The girls are sweet and lovely. I wish them best of luck. It won't be easy ...All the best to you as well, Beth. Ciao.

I think that they have a lot of class and that says much for their parents. I also believe that we can see how tight-knit and loving their family life is from watching those two. I hope they are able to have as sane and normal a childhood, growing up (at least for the next four years) in the White House as they possibly can, and I'm sure that to the ability that they are able to do so, their parents will see that they do.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506026496063245730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-7109476648757316682009-01-20T19:57:00.000-05:002009-01-20T19:57:00.000-05:00Hey Lucy, this is Ethel and I just wanted to tell ...Hey Lucy, this is Ethel and I just wanted to tell you that I've been smiling all day!

IF we are in school tomorrow. The only reason I could watch the event from beginning to end was because we had SNOW! and schools were closed. I was grateful that I was home after all, and that all the kids were either outside playing (as kids should be) or they were watching the event with their grandparents or some older relative... I hope. At any rate, I was proud of that young man... his mother and grandmother would have been so proud to see him on this day. I believe he will lead us well. With all the adoration I saw directed at him (and his wife)on Pennsylvania Avenue, I have no doubt that everyone (who wants to be part of this movement) will DO something in their own little part of the world to help him make his campaign promises a reality. May God Bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you, Barack Hussein Obama, our 44th President!Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879356290409283739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-30076163743817712142009-01-20T18:08:00.000-05:002009-01-20T18:08:00.000-05:00I liked the part about how we need to stop living ...I liked the part about how we need to stop living beyond our means.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-90742014612749954852009-01-20T17:57:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:57:00.000-05:00I'm still watching!
